Create a List

You can create Lists from search results or course pages. Lists you create are private by default.

First, log in to OpenSesame and enter a topic in the search bar.

Create from search results

Add a single course

1. In the search results, hover over a course image and click Add to List.

2. If the course has multiple language options, choose the ones you want, then click Select a List.

3. Select Create a new List and enter a title. If you decide to use an existing List instead, select Add to existing List and choose the List. Finally, click Add to List.

4. A confirmation appears, which includes a link to the List.

 

Add multiple courses

To add more than one course at a time:

1. From the search results, click Select courses.

2. Select the courses you want and click Add to List.

3. If the courses have multiple language options, choose the ones you want, then click Select a List.

4. Choose an existing List or create a new one, then click Add to List.

5. A confirmation appears, which includes a link to the List.

6. When you finish adding courses, use the X to close the multi-select tool.

 

Create from a course page

1. From the search results, click a course's title to open its details page.

2. Click the Add to List tool: 

3. As in the preceding examples, if the course has multiple language options, choose the ones you want and click Select a List.

4. Select Create a new list, name it, and then click Add to List.

5. A confirmation appears, which includes a link to the List.

 

Organize courses in a List

Use groups

To organize courses within a List, create groups.

1. In your List, select courses to group together, then click New Group.

2. Name the group and click the confirmation button.

3. The newest group appears first. Any remaining courses appear in an Ungrouped Courses section.

To edit a group name, click it. 

 

Move courses

To move a course within or between groups:

1. Click and hold the course's drag tool.

2. Drag the course to its new location.

You can also use the menu next to a course title to move the course within its group or to a different group.

 

Copy a course to another List

If you decide a course in your List belongs elsewhere, you can add it to a different List. This does not copy collaborator feedback collected on the original List.

1. Click the course’s title to open a panel of course information.

2. Select the panel's Add to List tool.

3. The familiar options appear, allowing you to add the course to a new or existing List.

After you add the course to a different List, you can remove it from the current one.

 

Remove items from a List

Remove courses

1. Select one or more courses in your List and click the Remove button.

2. Confirm by clicking Remove Courses.

3. A success message appears and the courses disappear.

 

Remove a group

Removing a group does not require you to remove courses.

1. Select one or more groups in your List and click the Remove button.

2. Select the option you want: Remove Group, Remove Courses, or Remove All Selections.

3. A success message appears and the items disappear.

If you remove a group and not its courses, the courses move to the Ungrouped Courses section.

 

Find your Lists

When logged in, select My Lists from the navigation bar.
